CORE FEATURES

The fundamentals,
automated end-to-end.

Comprehensive platform for enterprise proxy management with modern UI and powerful automation.

Proto-Driven Configuration

Typed models and field metadata are generated from each Envoy version's protobuf definitions. Create Listeners, Clusters, Endpoints, and Routes with typed fields and validation.

Interactive Dependency Graphs

Interactive visual diagrams display relationships between Envoy components. Understand resource dependencies, data flow, and troubleshoot configurations.

Quick Start Scenarios

Guided wizards that build a complete set of resources for common Envoy setups, such as an HTTP proxy with or without EDS and a TCP proxy. Create and manage your own scenarios too.

Lightweight Edge Agent

A lightweight agent that manages Envoy on every edge host. Automatic registration, health monitoring, log export to Syslog/ELK, and seamless integration with the control plane.

Full xDS Protocol Support

Complete implementation of xDS (ADS, CDS, EDS, LDS, RDS, VHDS). Delta xDS support for efficient incremental configuration updates.

Two-Step Validation

Validation in the editor and again on the server ensures configurations are correct before deployment. Catch errors early and prevent misconfigurations.

Save & Publish Workflow

Draft mode for safe configuration changes. Save incrementally and publish bulk updates atomically when ready. Every change is recorded in the audit log.

Multi-Version Envoy Support

Manage multiple Envoy versions side by side from a single interface — new releases are added continuously. Intelligent version-based routing with seamless version upgrade capability.

Project-Based Multi-Tenancy

Organize configurations by teams, environments, or customers. Complete resource isolation with 4-tier RBAC (Owner, Admin, Editor, Viewer).

ADVANCED FEATURES

Enterprise-grade capabilities.
Modern cloud-native architecture.

Intelligent automation meets cloud-native architecture.

API Security Inventory

API Discovery

Turn live proxy traffic into a continuously-scored inventory of every API you expose. Find shadow endpoints, missing auth, and PII leaks — and export the whole surface as OpenAPI.

  • Two-axis threat & exposure scoring
  • OpenAPI spec import, coverage & drift
  • Consumer enumeration & PII analytics (incl. TCKN)
  • Team ownership & OpenAPI 3.0.3 export
Edge API Security

Shield

Auto Endpoint Management

Kubernetes Discovery

An in-cluster discovery agent reports your Kubernetes nodes, and Elchi keeps Endpoint resources in sync with the node IPs (NodePort-style), across several clusters.

04

Audit Logging

Complete audit trail for all user actions, configuration changes, and system operations. Filter by date, action type, user, and resource.
